Chris, I am deeply sorry for the recent loss of your daughter. I hope you find some comfort in this group of caring people.

I know. My daughter was also my best-my only-friend. We shopped, we ate, went to the movies, took cards to the coffee shop and played Rummy. The nightmares are all while awake.

When I had my first nightmares... it always was me leaving Niles at the hospital and him still lying in the ICU Bed... then I imagine the total Organ Harvest... them cutting his body to get the heart... the bone.... and so forth... then the other nightmare was of the actual cremation process.... I always said to my friends that have said "I can't Imagine what you are feeling".... I think to myself... if anyone knew what went through my brain.... then they would lock me up in a rubber room....  there is a Horror movie in my brain that is worse than any Anyone has ever seen in the movies... And there are times where I just can not even tell anyone ..... because it would never be anything the mind should even endure.....

Nightmares

Mine come to me the second I wake up. They stay with me all day long. Every action I make reminds me of my daughter. The food I eat reminds me of my daughter. It is non stop for me. It is everywhere at all times. It's like wearing a "coat of grief".

Marilyn, you and your family are beautiful! (Don't put yourself down, please.) You all look so happy and it's easy to tell there is a lot of love in your family. I, too, like having a picture to go with the name. Brandon and your kids have been so lucky to have you for a mom. I know how hard this is. I wish none of us ever had to experience it.

You're right Marilyn it is the most horrible, awful thing. We can only take it on one moment at a time. I know (we all do) how you feel. There are those moments when the only thing that seems real is the fact that my son is not here with me...for the rest of my life. It is hard to fathom and I wonder, even with faith, how I can endure it. Loved seeing your picture and putting a face to your posts. Hang in there. (((( ))))

Marilyn, who are all the people in your lovely photo?

Grace that was like my dream of the kitchen floor swallowing my daughter.  I woke up so upset even though I knew it was a dream. 

I tried to negotiate with God more then once to give me Michael back. I do this while awake you just did it while asleep.

No one can take our children from us.  Yes they are gone physically but emotionally no one can take them from us. 

I will always be Michael's mom and I will never stop being his mom. 

Just as you will always be Niles' mom.

 

Ammy your encouraging.  Thank you!

Grace, thinking of you.. don't allow that dream.. and its just a silly dream ..to take away the good feeling u have about your son..hugsss

Does anyone else feel pressure to always reply because you're afraid it'll be the last conversation?

Hi everyone. This is my first post here.I lost my brother in December 2024 to an accidental overdose. He passed away suddenly in his sleep. We were only a year and a half apart in age, and he was the closest person I've ever had.One thing I've been struggling with ever since is that I feel an overwhelming pressure to reply to texts and answer calls as soon as I can. If someone messages me and I don't respond right away, my mind starts thinking, "What if something happens to them before I reply?…See More
